Abstract
This work attempts to process AlCu4MgSi (AW 2017A) alloy continuous ingots by means of the equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) method. The equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) technique has been widely investigated in recent years as the most promising severe plastic deformation (SPD) method. The presented research was focused on the precise determination of the phase composition of the precipitates formed in the AlCu4MgSi alloy and its influence on intensive plastic deformation. In the second stage, the research was focused on explaining the recrystallization process. With the use of the high-temperature X-ray diffraction (HT-XRD) technique, the changes in the dislocation substructure at various recrystallization annealing temperatures were analyzed.
